GoDaddy, the sexiest website of the 21st century
When I watched my first GoDaddy commercial during the superbowl several years ago I thought it was a porn site. It had hot models wearing next to nothing in provocative poses to emphasize their “sexiness.”
Not once did I think that they were the biggest stack of geeks you’ll ever meet.
A couple (two) years ago I started thinking about opening up my own company. I wanted a particular name for the company so I decided that if I ever wanted to have a website I’d have to make sure I had that name reserved. I went about hunting for a way to purchase a domain name and immediately found out what GoDaddy was all about.
I purchased 5 or 6 domain names and let it go for a while knowing that I might need them in the future.
Well, the future came and I wanted to use them. I got myself a host, built a website and proceeded to attach my domain name to that website with absolutely no luck. I knew I’d have to call customer service. I hate calling customer service. I REALLY hate calling customer service.
I called, went through a couple of menu items and BOOM there was a live person on the line, not just any live person, but a real live U.S. citizen ready to answer any questions I had in plain English without reading from a script. It was amazing.
He helped me do what I needed to get my website up and running and that was that.
Several months later I encountered a similar situation with another website. I couldn’t figure out how to assign a domain name. I reached for the phone, same exact thing happened. They answered it, figured out what was wrong and in no time I was happily on my way with one less problem in my life.
I just got off the phone with them about 10 minutes ago. The first two calls were no random anomaly. 2:30PM on a Sunday afternoon I reached a real live person in less than a minute of wait time on the phone. This is seriously the absolute best customer service I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. I can’t rave enough about how good these guys are.
I will, for the rest of my life, use GoDaddy.com for anything I need regarding the technical web stuff I can’t seem to wrap my own brain around.

Never had needed their services. But from what you say I would use them. I think sometimes you got to ignore lazy marketing gimmicks if you want the best product.
so its their service and not their boobs that made them
Top notch customer service and boobs? I can think of three men I know who could be the owner of this company. Off to find out which one it is.
Interesting. Is the live help a sexy voiced female?
My friend and I had a website from GoDaddy. Unfortunately we didn’t resubscribe to them because of stupid shit going on. My friend told me their customer service was bad but that was because he had to deal with them years ago.
I am glad, though, they have improved because we want to get our site up and running again.
Well at least I have more respect for Danica Patrick now.
That’s great! When I call a customer service, I ALWAYS get stuck talking to someone with a thick accent that I can barely make out! Ugh! So frusterating!
I hope you are planning to promote your site on this network?
I love (two)!
I will never use Godaddy, because I think their advertising is horrible.
